colorless liquid, with the odor of onion. Boiling point 194~195 deg C. Density (20 degrees C) 1.058g/cm3. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, soluble in carbon disulfide. It can be oxidized to dibenzyl disulfide in air.
S-benzylisothiourea hydrochloride and 10% sodium hydroxide solution were put into a reactor, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 2H under direct heat to conduct hydrolysis. Then, the mixture was cooled, acidified with dilute sulfuric acid, extracted with ether, and the extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Then, the desiccant was filtered off and the ether was recovered. 6664kPa) of the fraction, that is, the finished product.

Properties | Benzyl mercaptan is also called thiobenzyl alcohol, benzyl mercaptan, and α-mercaptotoluene. Colorless to light yellow liquid. It has a onion-like smell. It is easily oxidized in the air to form dibenzyl disulfide. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol and ether. Toxic. It is irritating and irritating to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. |
apply | benzyl mercaptan organic synthesis intermediate, pesticide herbicide "kaodan" and pesticide "chloracaricide", fungicide "kexojing" and other raw materials. Benzyl mercaptan is mainly used to synthesize other compounds with certain activity, such as thiourethane, whose scientific name is O-alkyl-N-alkyl thiocarbamate. It is a kind of sulfide ore flotation reagent with excellent performance. Compared with conventional sulfide ore collectors such as xanthate and black medicine, it has the advantages of good selectivity, small dosage, foaming, and effective separation of valuable minerals and gangue minerals under low alkali conditions, it is widely used in the flotation of various copper ore, gold ore, lead-zinc ore, and is a kind of non-ionic sulfide ore collector that is widely used and studied in flotation. |
preparation | benzyl thiourea hydrochloride is used as raw material, hydrolyzed in 10% sodium hydroxide solution to generate benzyl thiol sodium, desalted with acid to generate crude benzyl thiol, take out the organic phase, extract with ether, distill the extraction phase under reduced pressure, recover the ether, wash with water, dry, and then rectify under reduced pressure to obtain benzyl thiol. |
product characteristics | benzyl mercaptan is an edible perfume allowed by GB2760-1996 regulations in my country, also known as thiobenzyl alcohol, benzyl mercaptan, and α-mercaptol. The appearance is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a onion-like smell. It is easily oxidized in the air to form dibenzyl disulfide, with 124.22 relative molecular mass and 1.058 relative density, boiling point 194~195 ℃, flash point 70 ℃, refractive index 1.5751, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol and ether, toxic, irritating, irritating skin, eyes and mucous membranes. The preparation method is based on benzyl thiourea hydrochloride as raw material, hydrolyzed in a 10% sodium hydroxide solution to generate sodium benzyl mercaptan, desalted with acid to generate crude semi-finished products, the organic phase is taken out, and the extraction phase is extracted with ether Distilled under reduced pressure, after the ether is recovered, washed with water, dried, and then rectified under reduced pressure to obtain the finished product of benzyl mercaptan. This product is mainly used as an organic synthesis intermediate and a raw material for the production of carbamate pesticides such as the herbicides "Benzothalone and Kicaodan" and the insecticide "chloracidicide" and the fungicide "Kesujing. |

Production method | It is obtained by hydrolysis of benzyl isothiourea hydrochloride with alkali, and then acidification with dilute sulfuric acid. S-benzyl isothiourea hydrochloride and 10% sodium hydroxide solution were added to the reactor, and hydrolysis was carried out by direct fire heating and reflux for 2h. Then it is cooled and acidified with dilute sulfuric acid, extracted with ether, the ether extract is dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, the desiccant is filtered out, the ether is recovered, the residue is distilled under reduced pressure, and the fraction with boiling point of 98-108 ℃(2.67kPa) is collected, which is the finished product. It is synthesized from benzyl chloride and potassium hydrosulfide. |
